Treatment was prompt. Kris is very friendly and professional. He gets to know you as a person as well as what your presenting symptoms are. I have been seeing him for a year and been highly satisfied. He goes above and beyond the basics and will try to help resolve any underlying issues that are causing the problem. I always walk out feeling much better then when I walked in. I tend to have chronic low back and hip pain which is my main reason for seeing him but sometimes I have additional issues like leg cramping or painful thumb pads because of arthritis. He is always willing to address these issues too.

Follow up appointment

I have never been to a chiropractor before so entered with some skepticism. Dr. Dodge has been excellent to work with, answering all my questions about my treatment and addressing all of my concerns.

Walked out feeling like a new person!

I came in with aches and pains in my neck all the way to my feet! Dr. Dodge examined me and found all the issues that had been causing me multiple issues from feeling foggy headed, having a tight chest, to pain in my foot when walking. I’ve been suffering for months now and I can honestly say after just one visit I feel like I never had those issues I’d been experiencing! And I LOVE that there was no cracking involved because it makes me nervous. I would 100% recommend this business to anyone and everyone suffering from any type of neck, back, shoulder, foot, ANY pain!

I was very happy with my visit, the doctor spent a lot of time with me, far more than I expected. I could tell he new what he was doing. I know I will be seeing him again and time and money will be well spent.

Exceptional Care

Both Dr. Dodge and Dr. Johnson offer exceptional care -- and care for their patients as doctors used to do, with true concern for the whole individual. Dr. Dodge offers the gentlest of techniques, and works magic with a gentle touch. Dr. Johnson, meanwhile, offers a variety of options, including deep tissue massage.
Truly a 'feel better' team!

Highly recommend Dr Johnson

I recently tweaked my lower back during a move and was referred to Dr Johnson by a friend. His quote” go ahead and continue to be in pain if you want but if you call Dr Johnson you can quit hurting by tomorrow”. Well I did make the call, saw him the next morning and am feeling 90% better already. My only regret was not calling sooner. The receptionist was a delight. Super friendly atmosphere..... they even have an office Dog💗🐶

My visit was great. I like the friendliness of everyone there. I like the idea that I can come in when I am in pain and get right in. I have told a few people about this office. Dr. Dodge is great. She sits and goes over what is wrong at that time, then she fixes it.

Relief with gentle movements

Great experience from the moment the appointment was made. Smooth. Simple. No Stress.
Dr Johnson was great. His laid back personality made the experience low stress/anxiety. His technique was calming. He explained a lot along the way and there were no surprises with respect to what was happening.
My relief seems noticeable today :)

Excellent, Professional Care

I've been to a number of chiropractors through the years and this was the first time I actually felt relief. This is one of the best experiences by far, of any medical professional I've dealt with. Very impressed with both doctors, being very warm, compassionate and caring people! Thank you guys very much. Your care has helped both mentally and physically!

First visit and first impressions

This was my first visit to this office but not the first chiropractor I have seen.
I was impressed that he actually listened to me and what I said. Most people hear but do not listen. He seemed logical and explained his opinion well.
I was pleased to see he was not what I call a "fringe element chiropractor"

Great, caring team and excellent results

I recently visited Life In Balance Chiropractic due to a very painful stiff neck, which had lasted for a week. The morning after my treatment, my neck was almost completely better and fully recovered within two days. I'm so grateful they were able to help and will definitely return when the need arises. I highly recommend them.

Best Chiropractic Care

I've been to many chiropractors over the span of a few decades and Dr. Johnson is one of the best (I'm sure Dr. Dodge is equal, I've only seen Dr. Johnson from my initial appt almost two years ago to about twice monthly until now).
He is very knowledgeable about anatomy/physiology and willing to take the time to share that information.
I've benefitted much from his advice for natural remedies and my health/quality of life has improved greatly since seeing him regularly.
Very grateful to have found Life in Balance Chiropractic.

Balanced Care

Not only do I love the ease of Chiropractic approach and care at Life in Balance Chiropractor Care, but their holistic care for my health issues! Both Drs are professional and go the extra mile to spend time, listen and educate, not to mention they are just down to earth good people that can be trusted. Thank you to Dr Kris and Dr Sarah for all you do for me 🤗

On point!

I had my initial chiro exam with Dr. Jonhson. I am confident in his abilities. I don't feel like I'm now locked into a 6 month contract of trying to fix five specific problem areas with the same three adjustments everytime, that will end up costing me thousands. Give them a go, there's certainly no pressure or obligation to continue going.

Best and Most Trusted Chiropractic Clinic Around!

Dr. Johnson and Dr. Dodge are fantastic! I have found them both to be very caring and both highly skilled professionals. They never over-treat patients like so many Chiropractic clinics. I also appreciate that they take as much time as they need to assess, diagnose & treat every individual. In the past, I've always felt like I received "one size fits all" adjustments. You will only get necessary and healing treatments without the overinflated bill & excessive visits. They now treat almost my entire family.

- Kristel G4/28/2017

High quality, courteous, friendly, professional services

Dr. Kristen is different from other chiropractors. When you visit Life in Balance, It's never a routine of the same 3 adjustments each time, nor do they expect you to come in 2 to 3 times a week unless absolutely necessary. He spends quality time with his patients, getting to know them and their challenges. He finds the problem areas and makes adjustments accordingly. His Gentle, caring approach is like a breath of fresh air! Excellent Chiropractic care, treatment, and therapy!

first time my backs responding, very well i might add : )

informative on issues i was unaware of, which i thought was really cool. i look forward to my next visit !!

Felt listened to

Had to change my long time chiropractor due to his moving too far away. On a trusted recommendation, I decided to try Dr. Johnson. It is hard to change from a doctor you like and trust to someone new but these people were very warm and friendly, professional, thorough, listened to my concerns and I never felt rushed so as a result, I was immediately comfortable and relaxed. My first visit.... a consultation, a few adjustments and bam! Headache gone! I was definitely impressed and will go back. Especially gratified that there was no pressure.... no mandatory x-rays, no reams of paperwork, no pressure to return 2-3 x a week for an undetermined amount of time. (Yes, that is sometimes necessary depending on the problem, but in my past experience it seemed to be routine and expected in every case and that's not the kind of chiropractic care I want or need). Highly recommend.

I Found a Good Chiropractor

Dr Kristian Johnson explained his practice, performed my examination and adjusted my spine as needed. I got results that I have not had for a couple of years. Very efficient, professional and friendly!
My old Chiropractor was also Palmer Clinic Trained, but he moved to Oregon. I missed the quality treatment I received from him but I dropped into the Life in Balance Family Chiropractic and got the care I needed. I now have the Chiropractic Doctors I needed! Thanks Dr. Kris!
I will be back and will also refer my friends!
You need a good Chiropractor, this is the place to go!

Well Adjusted Family

Our family of 3 goes for regular monthly adjustments. From our 1st step in the door we enjoy Ella the therepy dog, conversation with the doctors and the comfortable atmosphere. We all go into the room together and each take our turn while Ella keeps our kiddo happily occupied. Our adjustments are customized for each of our needs. The process is gentle, relaxing and very effective! Our chiropractic care boosts our immune systems and keeps us a well adjusted family!

Headache And Migraine Chiropractic in Carnation, WA

A headache can sometimes just be a headache – from stress, chemical fumes, a long night at the party, or even preservatives in food. But other times, a headache can be a symptom of chronic neck and back pain. If this is the case, a visit with Life in Balance Family Chiropractic in Carnation, WA may help rid you of those headaches for good. Our headache and migraine chiropractic services are designed to alleviate your discomfort without the use of drugs and their harmful side effects.

Here to Help

Many people don't realize that headaches can arise from spinal misalignment. In these cases, medication can often take care of the headache pain – but as long as you have that misalignment, your headaches may keep coming back. When you come in for an evaluation, we can discuss the possible source of your headaches and give you a physical examination to check for additional problems. Our headache and migraine chiropractic team will work to identify the cause of your headaches with the goal of reaching a long-term solution for your discomfort.

For more information about our headache and migraine chiropractic services or to schedule an appointment, call Life in Balance Family Chiropractic today.
